The worst experience I had at Sully Buttes High School was the lack of a teacher that about carpentry and metal working. The best experience I had would probably be going to the State Championship for football and winning.

I liked that there were small classes and that meant that we were able to have more one on one time with our teachers if we needed help with anything and it has helped me tremendously throughout my Junior and Senior years. My class is only 14 students so it is very easy to get help when I need it most and has benefited me as a student.

The intent for this school is to primarily make sure that upper class students succeed while students coming from lower class households are left in the dust. Also, they hired a child predator to drive the school bus.
